Changing Landscape, Realized.

All kinds of changes are afoot these days.

Some people despair for lack of leadership/vision/consideration. Some just celebrate change for the sake of change. And some point to changes in places we don’t normally look, and say “see? now think about that.”

Such is the job of artists.

To that end, Drop City Gallery is hosting a site-specific, collaborative installation by John Fleming and W. Scott Trimble called “RECLAIM.”

We just got some of the installation’s in-progress pictures from the gallery and the exhibit’s hinting to be pretty impressive:

Here’s what Drop City folks say about the show:

Reclaim will be about change, expressed through the re-appropriation of materials collected in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood. Trimble and Fleming will focus [… on] building from the castoffs they collect in the area [… and] invite us to physically travel through their constructed landscape and navigate a reclaimed environment.

I was at this gallery sometime ago for another show, and it’s pretty big; 1,400 sq ft of concrete-floored, mostly-column-less open space. It is quite rewarding to see that vast space transformed through the imagination of the creative minds.

Opening reception is on Thursday, June 12 at 5pm. There will also be an artist talk event next Thursday.

    From the installation pictures the gallery is looking good is there a picture of the gallery finished anywhere?

    Very well-written post! I’m a writer as well as photographer, and the opening lines of this post were so attention-grabbing it made me explore the rest of your site.

    Hi! Thanks for your comment.
    (btw - which one of you wrote the comment? I went to the site and saw it’s a partnership)

    Funny sometime how these things just come to you; I went back and re-read the post and I didn’t remember writing those lines. Nice to hear someone appreciated it:)

    PS: Jay, sadly, the gallery is now closed, but here’s some of the pictures I took at the opening:

    Akira -

    I’m a freelance writer working for Birch Wedding Photographers.
    And I know what you mean. Often the words that touch people or interest them the most are the ones you didn’t think twice about! Writing can be very funny and subjective sometimes…

    I have checked out the photos of drop city gallery in flickr and I think, the picture from this link, http://www.flickr.com/photos/dandan_pics/2586254525/ really caught my eyes. It looks like part of a vortex made tangible.
